Lip Balm Junkie; Top 3 Lip Balms


Hey guys!

Since getting into lipsticks, I really needed to up my game on make my lips moist and soft. I currently have 12 lip balms in use dotted all over the house and in various pockets and bags, but I definitely have 3 I like the most, and today I will show you which ones. 


My current lip balms in use



Carmex SPF15 Cherry Moisturising Lip Balm 


This is the first Carmex product I have ever bought, I don't know why it's took me so long! This lip balm comes with a menthol fruity smell of cherry which reminds me of cough syrup. The squeezable tube packaging makes application extremely easy and effective - I’m not a fan of pot lip balms and would rather just apply lip balm straight to my lips. The actual lip balm is not sticky like a lot of other lip balms can be but really does live up to its claims and moisturises my lips well. 

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lip Balm


This lip balm is so moisturising, but the smell makes me a little sick. It smells of fake chocolate, which I hate, nothing like the other Palmers products. It also has a tingly feeling on my lips which is nice and it glides on easy. It also makes my lips feel SUPER moisturized and nourished,  my lips feel much smoother and softer once it’s on too. The tube is a regular twist up tube, nothing special. Overall, if this product wasn't so moisturising I wouldn't use it, but because it is, I really like it. 

Montagne Jeunesse Natural Beeswax Lipbalms - Shea Butter & Mango


I've had this lip balm since Christmas and I love it. The first thing I loved about this lip balm is the lovely mango scent. It's fresh but fruity and smells just like the Rubicon mango drink! Yummy.  I like the way it moisturises my lips, as the moisture is retained for about 2 hours. It doesn't tint your lips but just leaves them so nice and soft. Perfect. 

What lip balms do you use?

  3. I did have a Carmex one, which I carried with me everywhere, until I lost it! Now whenever I go to buy another, they either don't stock the exact same one, or they're sold out! Tis rather frustrating.. xx

  4. These all look wonderful! I've heard amazing things about Carmex. I think i'll give it a go next time I see it. I didn't know the last brand made lip balms! I've tried some of their facial products and really enjoyed them. Nice post:)
